re: 54 Months: Record Stretch of 7.5%+ Unemployment

quote:That was a great present GW Bush left. Its legacy still lingers, although the bleeding has stopped. Live in whatever fantasy land you want to...I'm sure in your eyes the economy just tanked on the day he took office. Disingenuous or willfully stupid- either is to be expected here.

There's plenty to criticize Bush on, but none of it, not one bit, excuses the role Obama played and continues to play in prolonging the misery.

What a hack. So disingenuous. You left out Carter's CRA, Clinton's repeal of Glass-Steagall and the 17 Bush administration warnings that it was going to happen if reforms weren't made while democrats like Dodd, Franks and Meeks laughed it off.
